Quick Takes

My Humor

Classic observational

Raunchy in the beginning so I didn’t have to share a bedroom.

First Gig

The Zoo

February 21, 1978
The Zoo. 6 minutes.
Also, the first time John Cantu asked me to blow him.

Best Joke

“Man, that’s livin’!”

Club Craziness

Crowd Control

When someone would try to get on stage. Happened once at the Punch and once in Seattle. Makes you realize how vulnerable you are. I couldn’t defend myself now, even back then it was still scary.

Joke that deserved more

“I undressed him with my eyes, but my lashes got caught in the zipper.”
I used to keep a list of jokes that didn’t get the response I wanted. I got laughs making fun of the crowd for not getting them.

Joke I wish I Wrote

by Carol Liefer

I went to Berkeley with a lot of optometry school students, so when Carol Leifer said she went out with her optometrist and when they were in bed he said, “ Which is better, this or THIS?”, I fell out.

Everything elsewhere

Carrie! So close, just a few final tweaks…

This temporary communication section will disappear when you’re finished filling in the gaps and satisfied with the look and feel of your ‘wing’ of AMUSEum. Never fear, you can always make additions, if you unearth more artifacts or memories.

  • Most of the images are from MY collection or from scavenging your website. Please let me know if there are edits or better yet, additions from YOUR collection… and send them along
  • The text referencing cheese for the top article needs to be replaced with your choice from that time. An excerpt will work as a way to identify you in the pantheon of SF Comedy. I’m guessing the Feb ’81 ‘Heavy Comedy’ Datebook article can be edited for glory etc.
  • A few short sentences or remarks about your one-woman show and/or the roasts would explain the breadth of your talents and go-to gal for such gigs
  • You mentioned you wanted to contribute a longer story… Bring it on and I’ll place it.
